AIM Conversation Map

Quite some time ago, I wrote a simple mashup that used the Google Maps API and the Open AIM API to show real time AIM conversations around the world. Its a bit crude, but somewhat functional, but I never took the time to throw it out there. Here it is, for anyone who is interested.

Before you get too excited, it doesn't show what is being talked about, only conversations happening between two map endpoints (ie, city to city).

Enjoy.

Update: 2/3/09 - Redid the above in flash, since the older javascript version was a bit buggy, and would hang firefox.
